No the Feds Constitutionally cannot make any laws that conflict the establishment of religion. But the States can. Amendment 14: "...No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Amendment 14: "See above post #16"
Thereby nulifying or otherwise distroying the "Republican" form of government we once had that ensured that the people actually had control of their own lives.

Sorry, forgot about that amendment. But for the Mormons, it was about twenty years too late. I have to say on a strict anti-federalist sense that I oppose the 14th amendment. The States should have similar wording in their constitutions to protect our liberties, but it is wrong in my opinion, to have such governance inured to federal scrutiny.
